Creating Tail Command using Java

Hi,
When I was searching for tail command for windows I got site: http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/johnwood/archive/2005/01/05/41694.aspx I think program thay have mentioned is writen in some .NET program.
So I was thinking do we have any class in Java some thing similar to FileSystemWatcher so that I can write tail command using java.
Thanks,
Ram Das

Running unix command using java shows error

Hi All,
I am trying to run UNIX move command using Java exec method but its throwing error, unable to rename. Here below is the code i am trying to run to move all files from one directory to another directory. source and destination directory exists.
public class Demo
    public static void main(String args[])
        try
            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            Process proc = rt.exec("mv /home/demo1/* /home/demo2");
            int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
            System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
        } catch (Throwable t)
            t.printStackTrace();
}if i give "mv /home/demo1 /home/demo2" in exec method, its working, with * character its giving problem.
Please help me in resolving the problem.
Thank you

Characters like *, >, &, |, etc. are interpreted by the command shell--that is by the bash, zsh, etc. programs. When you execute a command with ProcessBuilder or Runtime.exec, you're not going through one of those shells, so their interpretation of those characters is not available.
In your code, the character * is being delivered directly to the mv command (which doesn't think * is anything special), as opposed to being turned into a list of files and directories as it would be when it's interpreted by the shell. The mv command doesn't know anything about the * character being special.
If you want to have those shell interpretations, you need to execute the command through a shell. One example is like so, but a) you'll want to read up on the methods in exec() that take arrays of String, and b) you'll want to read up on ProcessBuilder, and c) you'll need to check your shell's man pages to see the exact syntax and arguments.
runtime.exec("/bin/bash -c 'mv x/* y'");

reldir.mkdir();
File absdir=new File("C:/NewDir");//absolute path
reldir.mkdir();

You are essentially asking how to write an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This is a big question. You might start by looking at existing IDE's (JBuilder, Forte...) and see how they do it. If you want source, there is probably an open source IDE you can lift most of your code from.

How to create sub domain using java ?

how to create sub domain using java ?

You don't do that using Java.
Consult the documentation of the application server in question how to configure it. If you're using for example Tomcat 6.0, then you should be consulting this document: [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html].

Spanish characters getting garbled while executing command using Java code

Hi,
I try to execute a command using java code. output of the command contains spanish characters. Few of these characters getting garbled after the command execution.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process p = null;
String pgm="ipconfig /all";
          try
                    p = r.exec(pgm);
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
                              (p.getInputStream()));
while((val = br.readLine()) != null){ System.out.println(val);
          catch (Exception e)
                    return (null);
I tried to run the code using -Duser.language=es -Duser.region=ES -Dfile.encoding=Cp850, but this did nt help. I could see the outputs properly in command prompt,
If i redirect the output to a text file , it is getting garbled,
Please let me know to solve this issue.

thanks a lot

While duffymo is correct in regard to most major database products, it's my understanding (warning! wild-ass guess coming) that the Hypersonic DB is more "application-centric" and the dynamic creation of databases is part of its design. It's pure Java database software, and therefore is not appropriate for all database projects, in particular those that require extremely high-performance.
See http://hsqldb.org/
I've not used it yet (but soon though), and I can't really advise anyone about it.
However, I'm wondering if you phrased you question in a way that is confusing us. To most of us in casual conversation, a "database" is both (1) a large organized collection of data and (2) the software that is used to organize and access it. However, the phrase "create a database" usually means creating a (1) database (a collection of data) using an already created (2) database software, such as Oracle, MySQL, DB2, HSQDB, etc., etc. If you'r question is, how do a create some new database software using Java, the answer is that this is a very very big and hard thing to do for the general case and probably not something you want to be doing.
